Bad governance and corruption are the most important obstacle against building the resilience of Nations and communities to disasters, this is why the corrupted governments and institution use DRR as a tool to get funds and full their own packets instead to invest on DRR. So it is a big challenge to build resilience to disasters, but it is not impossible it need patient and hardworking with community and other levels.

All three topics are very important for DRR. I thing for building the resilience of Nations and communities to disaster they have to work together (community, local government and at the national level). However it is very important and crucial that all our attention must be toward the building of community inability. I means if we want to have impact of DRR, we cannot ignore any lever from national to local level, but it is important that their focus toward people centred is a must. Community Based Disaster Risk Management (CBDRM) could be a good strategy to address the DRR but it need to be adopted according to local contexts and very importantly it need to be understand at the different level from national to local. If they understand the concept of CBDRM they will integrate the strategy into the Country Nation Development Strategy. So Building the Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters is a big challenge as it need to communicate with government at the national level.
